History

Ash and Alternate World Ash

In The Gates of Wrap, Ash and Chloe bump into his alternate self in alternate Canalave City, leaving them confused.

In the next episode, Alternate World Ash hugs Ash’s Pikachu and reveals that his own Pikachu had devolved into Pichu and then, reverted back into a Pokémon Egg, due to the clash between Dialga and Palkia.

Soon, they reach Sandgem Town, where he meets Goh, Dawn her alternate self and Alternate World Professor Rowan in the Alternate World Sandgem Town Pokémon Center.

Just then, when Alternate World Team Rocket, first disguised as Professor Rowan and his assistants begin to steal the Pokémon Center’s Pokémon Eggs, Ash’s Pikachu and Goh’s Cinderace devolve into Pichu and Raboot respectively.

Just then, on Professor Rowan’s suggestion, all of them decide to head to Spear Pillar in Mount Coronet. Since there was no more room for them, Alternate World Ash and Alternate World Dawn stay behind while Ash, Goh, Chloe and Dawn head to Mount Coronet first. Soon, they too head to Mount Coronet alongside Alternate World Goh and Alternate World Chloe.

In the Spear Pillar, Alternate Jessie and James reveal that they are the ones responsible for Dialga and Palkia's battle, all thanks to the Red Chain, which contains the power of Arceus. They wanted to raise the stolen Pokémon and Eggs to serve Team Rocket, making their conquest of the world all the easier.

Alternate Ash and Ash head forward to break the Red Chain, while, Goh, Dawn, Chloe, and their counterparts battle Team Rocket. However, amidst of the battle, Dialga's time reversal strikes everyone with such force that even the protective suits break. The surge of power sends Alternate Team Rocket blasting off through a Gate, turns Ash, his friends, and their counterparts into toddlers, and reverts all of their Pokémon into Eggs.

Ash decides that they should send out their feelings to Dialga and Palkia to make them stop, and alternate Ash suggests they do the same with Arceus as well, since it was the one who created Dialga and Palkia, and must have the power to return everything to normal.

Reacting to the group's desperate pleas, a shining image of Arceus appears from the Red Chain and makes it disappear, finally stopping Dialga and Palkia's fight. The two Legendary Pokémon immediately start undoing the results of their battle and send the group to alternate Canalave City, where they return to their normal ages. Alternate Ash’s Egg hatches into Pichu and evolves into Pikachu.

With everything returning to normal, Alternate Ash bids farewell to Ash and his friends, who are pulled back to their own world.

Character

In the original Japanese version, Alternate World Ash's speech patterns are more meek and polite in comparison to his counterpart, similar to Alternate World Dawn. But just like the Mirror Ash, Alternate World Ash is a bit insecure and tends to cry a lot.
